Renjuan Family and Country Chapter 21 Hope
The work of receiving the Japanese Hirohito was carefully arranged. The most important scene was to visit Haiyuan County on an airship that was destroyed by the earthquake. This was the matter on the way to the northwest New Japan. After arriving in New Japan, a group of Japanese people were filled with joy by the thriving New Japan. There were minerals within 400,000 square kilometers, and the forests alone were 200 million mu of arable land alone, which was nearly three times that of Japan's existing arable land. The pressure of Japan, which was under great pressure due to the land reform of China and North Korea, disappeared. The farmers in their country rolled along the Western Regions Railway, and the existing Chinese immigrants, had been in full capacity for a long time.
Even if he didn't like Japan, in the vast northwest, Yang Rui was still slightly at ease when he thought about the future torrent of Soviet Russia. Later Kwantung Army was not useful to face the Soviet Red Army, but when they accepted modernization in the future, once the Soviet army drove the Chinese leopard and died together with the T34, it would still be useful to meet the needs of many. In addition, the struggle between Shinto and Islam was also a great help for the Han people to take root in the northwest.
Therefore, before arriving in New Japan, both sides were a little diplomatic and polite, but after visiting New Japan, especially in Luther, the northernmost city of New Japan, seeing the Soviet outpost on the vast snowfield outside the border, Red Army soldiers standing with guns, the friendly atmosphere between China and Japan was leaping. There was no better catalyst for friendship than a common threat. So on the night of leaving here, everyone was drunk and pulled the geisha and messed up, which made both sides destroy the records of the night the next day. The Prime Minister flew to the Japanese geisha and the Japanese prince self-destructed the secret history of love. It was so earth-shaking.
In addition to killing people together, friendship between men is also an important aspect. When they move from Beiting to Taiyuan, Shanxi, Yang Rui and Yuren are already familiar with each other.
"I heard that your highness went to Europe to see it?" Yang Rui, the second automaker in Taiyuan, asked the Japanese. They didn't need respect, nor did they need respect. At this time, everyone was riding on the finished product warehouse full of tricycles. Hirohito was riding on the bike and trying to drive.
"Yes. I saw the battlefield when I was in France. I also went to Verdun, where there was the flag of the Revival Army," the Japanese stroked their glasses. It was obvious that he was deliberately trying to please, "War is so terrible. I just hope that the world will enjoy peace forever!"
No matter how you look at it, the Japanese devils wearing glasses are a gentleman. But Yang Rui knew that this was just his disguise appearance. Not to mention history, just the bust of Napoleon he brought back from Paris, and the daily life he did not allow his subordinates to be disobedient. At the same time, he deliberately pretended to be unique to show his uniqueness, all show that this person is stubborn and mysterious. Japan is ruled by such a person. In the case of new growth points that the economy cannot find and suffering from the economic crisis, there is no other way in his elm head except to send troops to plunder.
Of course, Japan is much better now than before. Although it has experienced the Sino-Japanese War that was exhausted and lost its mighty China, its extremist forces are not as rampant as before, as it used to be. It is proof that the current cabinet Prime Minister Hara Kei is still alive well; at the same time, the benefits of the First World War are no less than in history. Because there is no Siberian war, large amounts of funds can be saved; and the post-war economic crisis, driven by the strong pull of China and New Japan fixed asset investment, was still no less depressed than the wartime period.
It can be said that from an economic perspective alone, as long as Japan can avoid major earthquakes and world economic crises in the future, the possibility of it breaking apart and robbing is very slim. However, under the strong rise of China, that is, the heavy pressure of the economy, it is unknown whether the Japanese's frustrated souls will take risks and hope to launch a foreign war to improve their dialogue strength.
Without exposing the Japanese's politeness, Yang Rui remembered and asked with a smile: "What else does Your Highness have to feel except for peace?"
He looked at Yang Rui alertly, and the Japanese said intently: "The future war will be a comprehensive war. The governing economy is becoming more and more important. Japan should also build a reserve and governing economy like China and Europe..."
In front of Yang Rui, the Japanese still told some truth, but Yang Rui smiled and said, "This is an appearance, Your Highness is wrong!"
A trip to Europe is just a trip, and understanding is also one's own understanding. The bloodless French people are just sad and proud, and no one analyzes the war in depth. Yang Rui revealed his words at this time, and the Japanese immediately got off the tricycle and said seriously: "Please give me advice!"
"I dare not take the advice!" Yang Rui was kind, "Reserve and the governing economy are just wartime strategies. The real potential for war lies in the national economy. Why can France not defeat Germany? The dispersed folk customs are one reason. As a democratic constitutional country, it is really not as good as the monarchical Germany. This is one of the first things; in addition, Germany is the largest industrial country in Europe, and France's industry is not weak, and it is all in the north, and some are near Paris. Once Paris is lost, France alone will be defeated.
The governing economy can only concentrate all forces to reduce losses, but this only solves the problem of application, but cannot solve the problem of growth. If it is not for war, we should consider economic growth, or industrial growth. Only when facing war can we consider the problem of control. Your Highness takes war as a consideration and of course he will think that the governing economy is important, and which of the officials below do not agree with the governing economy? Where can they get the power if they do not control it? But in peacetime, the governing economy is not conducive to economic growth. Our best way is to let go. Sheep are just like sheep, and they are slaughtered when needed. In normal times, let the sheep eat grass by themselves."
Hirohito and his delegation really learned two lessons, one is that the imperial power cannot be abandoned. This is the resurgence of Taisho democracy, and it is also the lesson of the Russian Tsar and the German emperor. Neither of the countries collapsed because of defeat, but all because of internal revolution. What he could imagine was that once Japan is democratic, a revolution would break out when the war becomes long-term. The second is to control the economy. Specifically, it is to develop domestic industries based on war as a consideration. But if the government (actually farmers) is not paid by the Stalin model, then these industries must be given competitiveness and a market that can support their development and growth.
Things are always easy to say, but difficult to do. Therefore, Prince Zai Ren, who was standing on Hirohito's side, interrupted Yang Rui's brainwashing and asked directly: "Prime Minister, what if the free-range sheep cannot eat grass?"
"Haha..." Yang Rui burst into laughter, and he asked back: "Do you want to say what if our sheep cannot steal other people's sheep?"
Zai Ren is a general of the army. Now he loves and hates China and has awe of Yang Rui. After hearing the translation, he nodded and said, "It's true. China and Japan are both latecomers, and the plump grasslands are on other people's pastures. It may be difficult to stock them. If the sheep are not controlled, then the sheep will definitely be worse than the size of other people's homes."
"The prince's words sound reasonable, but in fact..." Yang Rui shook his head and said, "Although the ranch is in other people's houses, the flock of sheep is now the whole world eats grass. Of course, there are many restrictions on other people's grasslands. No such thing or that. Anyway, I just don't want our sheep to eat his grass." He felt that it was not enough to just say it. He looked at a production statistics in the distance holding a notebook and counting the quantity, pointed at him and waved his hand to let him come over.
The Prime Minister took foreign guests to visit Erqiu Company and made all the workers extremely proud. Although Erqiu is a state-owned company, its employees are in a lifetime employment system. At the same time, employees hold about 15% of the company's shares. To be honest, this is their own factory, but they are proud and meeting the Prime Minister in person is something these people have never thought about. The statistics were stunned for a while before shaking suddenly, and then ran over inconsistently.
"What's the name? Where's the person?" Yang Rui asked directly without looking at his badge.
"I... the grass-roots..." A group of adults watched. The man seemed to be shaking his chaff, his knees were bent, and he almost knelt down.
"Stand firmly. Don't kneel down!" The effect of the imperial power fooling the people was perfectly reflected in this person, and Yang Rui had to shout.
But his drinking, especially the word "kneeling down" at the end, made him kneel down immediately. Fortunately, a production manager who was accompanying him stepped forward and pulled him, so his knees were not touched. Although Yang Rui knew that he could not change his age in this life, he didn't care. He just looked at him in a panic and asked with a smile: "Do you bring a handful?"
"Report...Sir: Bring...Please." At the prompt from others, he finally said something. Then he felt very embarrassed.
"If you bring the handle, stand up straight!" Yang Rui shouted, "Kneel at the sky, kneel at the ground, kneel at the ancestors. What should I kneel when I see the official!" After saying that, he stopped asking about his well-being and said directly: "Take a question for you: Why do three-wheeled cars in the factory sell so well?"
The question is so simple. This person immediately said: "Sir, the car is good, and the people also like it..."
The answer is a mess, but Yang Rui wanted this. He gave him a little thing and said to Zai Ren: "Prince, sheep cannot eat grass, is it a problem of grass or a problem of sheep." Seeing that all the Japanese were in deep thought, he said: "Is it a problem of product competition? Or a problem of market capacity? With your country's population and land area, it is no less than that of European countries. China and Japan are allies. Although the relevant taxes are concerned, the tax refund for the new Japan..."
Although Chinese customs do not use national tariffs on product category systems to the outside world, the existence of New Japan is a big cheater, because foreigners who have lost control of Chinese customs cannot know whether those Japanese goods in the name of transit were really sold to New Japan, Central Asia, West Asia and other places, or were redirected back to the Chinese inland market. If it were the latter, then the tariffs on Japanese goods would have a great advantage over European and American goods. In public, Yang Rui just clicked and did not explain in detail.
"...Anyway, our own pasture is actually not small. Should we cultivate our own pasture? Or should we always look forward to other people's pastures? This is a question worth exploring; and, even though all sheep eat grass, the grass they eat is different. Goats eat grass roots, sheep eat grass tips, and mice and sheep eat grass seeds, which are all focused. As long as the food our sheep eats is different from other people's sheep, we can still open the door."
The non-existent creature of rats and sheep was created by Yang Rui, which made everyone laugh. But he didn't finish his words. He said, "In my opinion, the most important thing is to cultivate your own pasture. When the grass grows well, the sheep will naturally be fat; when the sheep are fat, they still care whether they are governed or not? So the root of the matter is still raising grass. Judging from the situation in China and Japan, it is really not worth the effort to rely on other people's pastures, or spending all their money to keep them in captivity. Moreover, I think many of the sheep in your country are unhealthy, and they may die without ten years."
"This..." The Japanese who loves face couldn't bear to face when Yang Rui said this. Hirohito touched his glasses uneasyly, Zai Ren glared at his beard, and only Mitsui Products China Store General Office Mori Ke asked: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister is saying... is the management of our company?"
"Management diseases are also one of them. This is a serious disease. But what is more serious is the problem of government subsidies and support. Your country only has large companies, and large companies are like goats. If you let them eat grass roots, the pastures will become desertified as they eat grass roots. Once desertification is achieved, what will happen? I don't need to say."
Yang Rui continued to use the sheep as a metaphor, and then said, "There are goats in our country." He patted a three-wheeled car: "That's it. But we just delivered it and no longer gave it subsidies and support, which is equivalent to forbidding it from eating grass roots. It will die or live, fat or thin, and never care about it. If he goes bankrupt tomorrow, he will go bankrupt tomorrow, and I don't blink half of my eyes. Why? I deserve it!"
Although it was a good medicine, the straightforward criticism still made Hirohito clean up his face, so that after he politely ended the day's visit, he locked up in the room when he returned to the hotel and was furious. When the anger faded, Morike, the head of Mitsui Products China, was summoned by him. "What Yang said today..." Hirohito looked at Morike, and was angry when he spoke, so he only said half of his words.
Morike fully understood what he meant. He looked at the crown prince Hirohito and Prince Zairen next to him, and Zhentian said: "Your Highness: What Yang said is not false. Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China submitted suggestions to my country for improving operations and focusing on quality, and believed that if no changes were made, our company would go bankrupt on a large scale in less than ten years..."
"Nani!" Hirohito was shocked, and he said, "Why haven't I heard of it...? How is this possible?"
"Maybe... maybe everyone has forgotten." Sen Ke didn't want to offend anyone. He vaguely skipped the previous question and answered the latter question in detail. "My workers' wages are twice that of China, but their efficiency is far less than that of them. Now the market needs to be greater than supply, but once the output is saturated, the final result can only be a large-scale bankruptcy of our company. In addition, Yang's metaphor for sheep is a reference, because China implements the strategy of raising grass. In their words, farmers will naturally buy three-wheeled cars when they have money. If they buy three-wheeled cars, there will naturally be the automobile industry and steel industry..."
"Baga!" Prince Zairen, who was a soldier, shouted immediately. "Do you mean that a few Japanese can beat a Chinese?"
Everyone knows the difference in wages between Chinese and Japanese workers, and some people even think that this is a specific manifestation of Japan's superiority to China. They don't think about the difference in rice prices between the two countries at all. Now they hear that Japanese people are not as efficient as Chinese people, including Hirohito, and they are not convinced. They completely forget the difference in shipbuilding efficiency between the two countries before.
Zhentian, who was a diplomat, calmed down and said, "Talk it out. What is the difference between Chinese factories and Japanese factories?"
"Many Chinese factories are state-owned. Once employees are hired, they will not be dismissed. Many people can become factory shareholders..." Although they are dissatisfied with China's superiority to Japan, Ke Senke's words are still heard by a few big names. Hearing that workers can become shareholders, Hirohito asked anxiously: "Is this a slut*?"
"No, Your Highness. All the workers are shareholders, but the real shareholder is the Soviets; Chinese factories are older workers are shareholders, but younger ones are not. Some workers have made trouble because of opposition, but the result is... Chinese people say this is teamism. The factory has good performance, everyone has high bonuses, and poor performance, so the bonus is low..." Sen Ke said: "The basic salary of workers is very low. Relying on their wages, they can only eat sorghum rice and pickles for the whole family. The bonus is several times, dozens of times the salary, and people with the same working years have the same bonus..."
"Don't you want excellent soldiers to be rewarded?" Prince Zai Ren smiled when he heard this and asked again.
"This..." Lifetime employment system and the annual training system complement each other. Sen Ke is just a businessman. Of course he doesn't understand the key, but he still told some of the essence of it through hearing. He said: "Your Excellency, the Chinese manager said he would rather have an ordinary team than an excellent individual." When Zai Ren was defeated, he said: "Your Highness, our country's Toyota family is also interested in producing cars. His son Kiichiro has been in Taiyuan for a year. What are the differences between the factories of the two countries? Your Highness can interrogate him."
The famous Toyota family in Japan is the textile king Toyota Saki. The textile machinery he produces is not only sold well in China, but also exported to China. His son Kiichiro Toyota took root in Taiyuan Second Automobile after traveling around Europe and the United States last year. According to the saying, this kind of stealing skills is driven away, but he was sent to the Tongji University in Shanghai to intern in the factory in the name of a management trainee. Therefore, as long as he is not good at doing things that should not be done, he can still stay there. Moreover, in Yang Rui's words, if an industrial management system can be stolen by just a few people, let him steal it.
It was already late at night when Toyota Kiichiro was summoned to the inn. Although he was excited when facing Hirohito, he was in the end and had been internship at the Second Automobile Factory for a long time. Facing the previous question, he said: "Your Highness, the Chinese factory is as clean as the navy's dreadnought. There is no waste. The workers also regard the factory as their home and discuss efficiency improvement and quality improvement at all times. On the other hand, the factories in our country are full of chaos and waste. The workers only work hard when they go to work and forget about the factory when they get off work. If it is piece-based wages, the workers will fight to grab high-priced jobs..."
Toyota Kiichiro is not a management talent at all, but he is very clear about the difference between his own factory and Taiyuan Second Automobile. He made a statement for about half an hour, and Hirohito listened for half an hour. After he said 'It's probably all that', Zhentianshe, who stayed up late, asked: "Can Japanese companies compete with Chinese companies?"
The problem is so direct, even if Kiichiro Toyota wants to be polite, he will not be able to be polite. He was patriotic and had to take out the Nissan Monkey Match he bought from the Chinese market, and then picked up the Chinese auspicious match provided by the inn from the table, and then started scratching the match without saying anything: scrape auspicious one, scrape a monkey card, scrape auspicious one, scrape a monkey card, scrape a monkey card... After scraping a box of matches, he looked at Hirohito who was thinking and said, "Your Highness, most of the raw materials for Chinese matchsticks are imported to Japan. And many Chinese people don't know that monkey cards are produced in Japan, but..."
After Toyota Kiichiro's match test, Hirohito stayed up all night. He had heard of Japanese goods as a despicable representative of being despicable. But Japanese goods at that time had price advantages; now they are despicable, but the price advantage no longer exists. If this continues, once the market is saturated, the first thing to eliminate is Japanese goods. Yang Rui's unpleasant words during the day finally turned into a bitter medicine one night.
"Your Highness seems to have not slept well last night?" In the inn, Yang Rui asked with a smile as he looked at the Japanese with two panda-eyed eyes.
"I didn't sleep well." Hirohito was a face-loving person after all. He wanted to ask Yang Rui about the solution to Japanese goats. But he was not easy to ask directly, and he was a little hesitant. He said, "Your Excellency, can you not visit today? Can you tell me the story of herding sheep yesterday again..."
"Grieving sheep may be the key. Raising grass is even more important. Without good grass, there will be good sheep." As Yang Rui spoke, Yuri shut up others. Seeing that he was like this, Yang Rui also let his followers retreat.
‘What should the shepherd do if she was herding sheep and raising grass?’ After Hirohito left, he took out paper and pen and started talking. This is the only effective way of communication when the two of them do not need to translate.
Yang Rui knew exactly where Yuhito’s heart was, and wrote instead: ‘It depends on what the shepherd wants to do. If it is for himself, the Qing Dynasty is the lesson of the past. If it is to share the joy with the people, it is the country for thousands of years. Is it the country, the country is me, or I am me, the country is just a private property, all in one thought.’
‘The king of your country is that I am the country, is the country?’ Yuri wrote again, although his expression was still serious, his eyes were disdainful. After all, he did not want to become a archway like Zhu Kuan-chul.
‘If you do not change the entire country with your personal will according to reality, the consequences will be unimaginable once you fail.’ Yang Rui could not stand completely against him, so he could only tactfully persuade him.
‘What about you? Why is every change in China not your personal will?’ Hirohito’s sentence hit Yang Rui’s key point. He could not tell others that everything he did was based on history.
"Haha..." Yang Rui couldn't help laughing. The Japanese devils were more difficult than he thought. After laughing, he wrote: 'Everything I, and my comrades, did for this country rather than for their own family; at the same time, everything we do is conducive to economic development and help the people get rich instead of the other way around.'
When Yang Rui wrote, Hirohito wrote: 'But China is rising, while Japan is gradually declining. If you don't find a way, then...'. The last one point he did with a pen was extremely heavy. Is it a young man who was only twenty years old who was not calm?
'The way is not to mow grass and feed sheep, but to raise grass and sheep. The more you mow grass, the more you keep it, the weaker the sheep will be. At that time, the grassland is deserted and the lambs die, you can only rob other people's pastures, otherwise the pasture will go bankrupt. Looking around, who can you rob?' Yang Rui also paused the table with his pen tip while writing the question mark, and then wrote: 'But if the Chinese model is adopted, the sheep in China and Japan are better than Europe and the United States. They cannot live, and we can live; they cannot eat, and we can eat. If nothing unexpected happens, Asia will be our pasture in just thirty years, and the whole world will be our pasture in fifty years."
After writing this prophecy, he added: 'War will definitely happen at that time, but if the war broke out in Europe first, then for us, everything from the previous few years will repeat itself.'
‘Only Kingdom? Revealing Kingdom?’ Hearing that Europe will fight again, Hirohito’s glasses are full of light. He hopes that the European war will happen again.
Chapter completed!
